Sample of Rigging Calculation

Key to remember:
2 leg sling at 45 degree Mode Factor (MF) = 1.4
3 or 4 leg sling at 45 degree Mode Factor (MF) = 2.1

1. What is the maximum load you can lift with this configuration below?

10 Te 10 Te
Answer:
45° (SWL 1 sling) x (2 leg MF) =
10 t x 1.4 = 14 t
?
Max. Load

2. What is the maximum load you can lift with this configuration below?

Answer:
10 Te 10 Te
(SWL 1 sling) x (3 leg MF) =
10 Te 10 t x 2.1 = 21 t

? Max. Load

3. What is the maximum load you can lift with this configuration below?

Answer:
10 Te 10 Te (SWL 1 sling) x (2 leg MF) x (Choke Factor) =
45°
Choke Hitch 10 t x 1.4 x 0.8 = 11.2 t

? Max. Load

4. What is the MINIMUM WLL of sling for configuration below?

Answer:
(Load) ÷ (2 leg MF) =
15 t ÷ 1.4 = 10.71 t
? ?

10.71 t 10.71 t
5. What is the MINIMUM WLL of sling for configuration below?

Answer:
(Load) ÷ (2 leg MF) ÷ (Choker factor) =
? 10 t ÷ 1.4 ÷ 0.8 = 8.92 t
?

8.92 t 8.92 t

6. What is the MINIMUM WLL of sling for configuration below?

Answer:
(Load) ÷ (3 or 4 leg MF) =
20 t ÷ 2.1 = 9.52 t
